Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his brother
"Ballad Of the Green Berets"
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret.
Silver Wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret.
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage picked from the Green Beret.
Silver Wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret.
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request.
Put Silver Wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years,
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Soldiers come in all shapes, shades, weights, sizes, and states of sobriety, misery, and confusion. He is sly as a fox, has the nerve of a dope addict, the stories of an old sailor, the sincerity of a politician, and the subtly of Mt. Saint Helens. He is extremely irresistible, totally irrational and completely indestructible.
A Soldier is a Soldier all his life. He is a magical creature. You can kick him out of your house but not out of your heart. You can take him off your mailing list but not off your mind. Soldiers are found everywhere... in love...in battle... in lust... in trouble...in debt...in bars and ... behind them. No one can write so seldom and yet think so much of you. No one else can get so much enjoyment out of a letter or clean clothes or a six pack.
A Soldier is a genius with a deck of cards. A millionaire without a cent, and brave without a grain of sense. He is the PROTECTOR OF AMERICA, with the latest copy of playboy in his back pocket.
When he wants something it's usually 30 days leave, music that hurts the ears, a five dollar bill...or a woman he can count on. Girls love them, mothers tolerate them, fathers brag about them, the government pays them, the police watch out for them and somehow they all work together.
You can beat their bodies but not their minds. You can tame their hearts but not their souls. He likes girls, females, women, ladies, and the opposite sex. He dislikes small checks, working weekends, answering letters, missing chow, waking up, maintaining a uniform, and the day before payday.
You may as well give in. He is your long distance lover...he is your steel eyed, warm smiling, blank minded, hyperactive, over reacting, curious, passive, talented spontaneous, physically fit, good for nothing bundle of worry.....
And will always be there for you regardless of how long it’s been since you've last talked.
EVENESCENCE - BRING ME TO LIFE

Born and raised in Atlanta. I've served in the Army for quite a while and have had the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. I've seen them at their best and at their worst. I have seen it all, yet I know there is more out there.
YOU AND SCORPIO MAN
Women sense in him a magnetic life force, and sexuality is only one part of this magnetism. He projects an aura of mystery and power, of a disturbing, unpredictable, thoroughly masculine presence. One reason Scorpio has such a bad press is that the flaws in his character show up more in his love life than in any other area. Nothing brings out the extremes to which his nature is subject as much as sex.
He has so much energy and passion you'll have no trouble seducing him—if that's all you want. What is harder is to form a relationship with him. This is not because he doesn't want a relationship, for it is, in fact, exactly what he does want. He is an intensely sensitive man who can be easily hurt and who often feels lonely and unfulfilled. The problem is that jealousies and unexpressed angers are very difficult to live with. He has the most indefensible defenses in the zodiac. He will never allow a woman to dominate him. If he chooses, he can keep a woman dangling on his string as long as he wants her. When he cuts her loose, no matter how ruthless the parting may be, he'll be surprised if she shows any rancor. He's the only one who has a right to be vindictive.
In matters of love he always knows the cost of what he wants to the last decimal point. If the cost is too high—emotionally, financially, or otherwise—he won't haggle. He'll simply walk away.
The Scorpio man is secretive and hard to fathom, although he often appears likeable, affable, easygoing. What you see on the surface is what he wants you to see. But even when he's being most amiable, and he can be, there's a simmering danger to this man.
He is aware of how attractive he is to women and makes the most of it. In his approach to lovemaking he plans his move carefully, not wasting time but never appearing to be in haste. He is direct and forceful, and there aren't too many women around who can avoid responding to his uncomplicated physical passion. He brings out the full sensual potential in any woman with whom he's having an intimate relationship. One of the things that makes him really unique as a lover is that he truly understands a woman's needs and, if he is not threatened, will try to meet them.
This vigorous, virile man can be a lot to handle, but Scorpio man makes a woman feel like she's the best female she can be.
ONE SHOT, ONE KILL
Well here I am back in my home city, living the life of a civilian, working at the Home Depot sometimes wishing I was back in the Army. But that was then and this is now. I like to have some fun when I can. Can't stand those who are just into themselves. Myself, I’m a laid back sort of guy who can be your friend, lover or enemy, the choice is yours. I enjoy life and all that it brings.

I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have out walked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, O luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.
Below are the Tunnels of darkness People go Below who are lost and weak. Everyone feels sad and scared Below is the comfort we all seek.
Below are the Tunnels of darkness People go Below who are in a bind Everyone feels lonely and afraid Below is the love we shall find.
Below are the Tunnels of darkness People go Below in the moonlight of the night. Everyone Below feels the comfort and love The darkness fades with the glowing candles of the light.
